Aarhus University offers a number of services and resources to international students.

Student services

Legal Aid Office (Studenterrådets Retshjælp)

The Legal Aid office provides free legal advice to students on all matters. If they are not able to provide you with an answer immediately, they are likely to investigate the matter further for you. The office is located in the University Student House. Contact them on +45 8715 3878 or e-mail: ret@sr.au.dk

Student Advisory Office

Student Counsellor

Student counsellors are experienced students who advise other students in their department. They are your first contact when you have questions, and they will be able to help or advise you on where to go for additional help.

International Students with special needs

The Counselling and Support Centre can offer counselling and assistance for international students who experience study-related difficulties caused by dyslexia, physical, mental or behavioural disabilities. We offer free counselling and full professional confidentiality.

Student facilities

International Student House

Studenterhus Aarhus – also known as International Student House – is the university’s central meeting point for international and Danish students in Aarhus.

Dale’s cafe

Located next to the International Centre, Dale’s Café is a meeting place for international students and PhD students. Quality coffee, sandwiches and a wide selection of beers are served in an informal lounge area with an outside terrace. Find Dale’s Café on Facebook

Friday bars

Every Friday at noon, each department sets up a small bar in a canteen or a classroom where beer and soft drinks are served. This is another great place to meet both fellow students and professors over a drink.

Canteens

On every AU campus you can find different canteens that offer both hot meals and sandwiches. A few canteens are also open for dinner.
